I really liked nicotine when I first started. I think it affects my ADHD in a way similar to other stimulants, and the effect is very nice. I understand why people say nicotine helps them think; I don’t know if it’s actually helpful for any kind of thinking but it certainly felt like I was thinking more quickly and clearly. After using it for a while though, I stopped feeling it.
It’s an old joke from back when IBM was the dominant player in IT infrastructure. The idea was that IBM was such a known quantity that even non-technical executives knew what it was and knew that other companies also used IBM equipment. If you decide to buy from a lesser known vendor and something breaks, you might be blamed for going off the beaten track and fired (regardless of where the fault actually lay), whereas if you bought IBM gear and it broke, it was simply considered the cost of doing business, so buying IBM became a CYA tactic for sysadmins even if it went against their better technical judgement. AWS is the modern IBM.
cross-region failovers are a thing, but they’re expensive to maintain so not everyone does it. I am kinda surprised one region failure had this much impact though
No one ever got fired for buying IBM.
Something about the circle of life
Fun dinosaur fact: Chickens (and all birds) are direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs, where crocodiles are descended from a distinct branch of Archosaurs (the group that also includes dinosaurs and by extension, birds). So of the two, the chicken is evolutionarily closer to dinosaurs. In fact, technically speaking, chickens are dinosaurs.
You might be able to do a find and replace with https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF . I’m not an expert on PDFs, so I’m not sure if it can be done in a way that preserves all the important formatting, but if you feel comfortable DMing me the PDF (or one of similar complexity) I could try to write a script that replaces all instances of the target text in a way that preserves the rest of the document.
To make matters worse, Jurassic Park spliced together dino DNA fragments with frog DNA to make their “dinosaurs”, so your dino meat might taste froggier depending on where you get it from. Non-GMO dino nuggets probably taste indistinguishable from chicken.
Ooh nice ci is a new one for me, gonna try to encode that one
you can also parameterize the change word command, e.g. c3w will delete the next three words and put you in insert mode. it’s handy for changing multiword variables or paths.
Thus do we see the insidious power of the Song. /u/FenrirIII, in their arrogance, sought to turn the Song to their own purposes, in simple jest. But they were deceived, and enthralled, by the will of the Song. It consumed them, and, when their mind was broken, contrived to be put into a meme purporting to fight against the Song, while infecting the minds of all who looked upon it, forcing them to hear the song before its appointed hour. And all who hear it, having heard it once, are doomed to hear it echoed in their minds, never are they free of its taint. Beware such fools, and look not upon their creations, at least not with the sound on. And pity the ones who heed not the warnings.
I started smoking to have an excuse to hang out with the theatre kids. It worked.
